A week or so ago the Friends of Bayworld hosted a hugely successful Night at the Museum at the Port Elizabeth Museum at Bayworld. The place was packed to the bleachers and I don't think they ever expected in their wildest dreams that they will have such an overwhelming turnout. I get to visit Bayworld … Continue reading Bayworld cut-out

Sharing my passions with the KidZ
I'm very fortunate that both the KidZ adore the outdoors. They're mad about camping, they're addicted to geocaching, they love travelling and exploring and are slowly starting to show an interest in photography. All this means that I can share my passions with them and we can always find something new to do or somewhere different to go. I'm just … Continue reading Sharing my passions with the KidZ
Lining up for carrots
We popped into the East Cape Horse Care Unit last weekend and I just couldn't help snapping this pic of Drama Princess feeding the donks . It looked like they were lining up to each get a turn for a carrot.
The KidZ are Ironkids
This past weekend (12 - 14 April 2013) was Ironman weekend in Port Elizabeth which, in addition to the main Ironman event on Sunday, also included an Irongirl 8km run on Friday and Corporate Ironman and Ironkids on Saturday. Both Ironkids and Irongirl are the biggest events of their kind in the world. Just for those … Continue reading The KidZ are Ironkids
The KidZ at Ronnie’s Sex Shop
The KidZ were absolutely amazed with what they saw at Ronnie's Sex Shop on Route 62 outside Barrydale and were snapping away pictures with their cameras the whole time we were there. They even went to Ronnie himself to get pictures with him. I finally got the two of them to stop bouncing off the walls … Continue reading The KidZ at Ronnie’s Sex Shop
Feeding from afar
Chaos Boy, unlike Drama Princess, is a bit wary of the donks at the East Cape Horse Care Unit. While Drama Princess doesn't mind getting close to them, Chaos Boy keeps a good distance between himself and the carrot munchers.
Ice cream combi
Imagine my surprise when I heard a tune from my childhood coming down the road the other day. Not 80's pop music or anything from a kiddies tv show but the hi-pitched, slightly more than monotone tune of a ice cream truck combi. I have seen one around town but it was the first time … Continue reading Ice cream combi
Our first snow experience
Internationally people don't really associate South Africa with snow and is often surprised when they hear that some areas do get snow in winter. Large sections of the Drakensberg as well as parts of the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and eastern Free State often get snow with the bigger cold fronts that hit the country during winter. When a particular severe … Continue reading Our first snow experience
Fishing at Montagu Caravan Park
In the post about Montagu Caravan Park I mentioned that the caravan park has a dam that is a very popular fishing spot with the campers. At times the kids (and adults) were lined up next to the dam casting and reeling in. Now I'm not a big fisherman. I enjoying doing it for 15 … Continue reading Fishing at Montagu Caravan Park

Over the weekend the annual Kids and Baby Expo took place at the Moffet-on-Main Lifestyle Centre here in Port Elizabeth. The expo's exhibitors covered just about everything that you would need for babies and toddlers as well as a lot of activities to keep the kiddies busy while at the expo. I manned a tourism … Continue reading Kids Expo drumming
